School Teachers’ Perspectives on the Use of Algebra Tiles to Operations on Integers

This paper is based on the first author’s (researcher) experience as a mathematics teacher trainer based on his M.Ed. ‘Internship course.’ The second author being the course facilitator has played a facilitative role in the development of the training module and the successful conduction of Teacher Professional Development (TPD) sessions. This study aimed to explore perspectives on the use of algebra tiles (as physical manipulatives) to basic arithmetic operations on integers - addition ( ), subtraction ( ), multiplication ( ), and division ( ), based on the experiences of 22 school mathematics teachers of Kathmandu, Nepal (who participated in TPD). This study utilized a qualitative research technique, Concrete-Representational-Abstract (C-R-A) instructional sequence, and triangulation. The data generation tools were participant observations, researcher-participant interaction, participant worksheets, reflection forms, end-reflection videos, and photos. The data analysis unveiled that the participants had a positive outlook towards the use of algebra tiles (as physical manipulatives), and they viewed it as effective concerning operations on integers. As a result, the participants were motivated enough and were determined to apply it in their mathematics classroom teaching, even though it would be difficult to implement it properly due to time constraints – cost, availability, time, and management. However, the participants suggested Book Free Day - an initiative introduced (2023, April 27) by Kathmandu Metropolitan City, where students go to school without books and bags every Friday, and remedial teaching as the most appropriate occasions to implement algebra tiles properly.

SampleExplorer: using language models to discover relevant transcriptome data.

Over the last two decades, transcriptomics has become a standard technique in biomedical research. We now have large databases of RNA-seq data, accompanied by valuable metadata detailing scientific objectives and the experimental procedures used. The metadata is crucial in understanding and replicating published studies, but so far has been underutilized in helping researchers to discover existing datasets. We present SampleExplorer, a tool allowing researchers to search for relevant data using both text and gene set queries. SampleExplorer embeds sample metadata and uses a transformer-based language model to retrieve similar datasets. Extensive benchmarking (see Supplementary Materials and Methods) using the ARCHS4 database demonstrates that SampleExplorer provides an effective approach for retrieving biologically relevant samples from large-scale transcriptomicdata. This tool provides an efficient approach for discovering relevant gene expression datasets in large public repositories. It improves sample and dataset identification across diverse experimental contexts, helping researchers leverage existing transcriptomic data for potential replication or verification studies.

Exploring the Impact of Interactive Pedagogies on Self-Confidence and Tolerance among University Students

The aim of the research is to determine how students' self-confidence and tolerance levels in teacher-centred learning environments relate to one another. By using both quantitative and qualitative data, the relationship between the variables was determined. The Concurrent Triangulation Method (CTM) was used in conjunction with the Mix Method Research (MMR) technique to conduct the investigation. Ten focus group conversations were used to gather qualitative data, while an existing interpersonal tolerance measure was used to obtain quantitative data. Student self-confidence has a Pearson chi-square value of 66.738 and a p-value of.004, whereas classroom activities have a Pearson chi-square value of 78.768 and a p-value of.005. Both the qualitative and quantitative statistics demonstrate that kids who are self-assured exhibit a high degree of tolerance. The majority of teachers are too preoccupied with lecturing the class to provide proper attention to the reading, discussion, Q&A period, and student presentations, all of which have a negative impact on the students' tolerance levels. Students find it difficult to comprehend the diverse behaviours of others in such situations. Students would be more tolerant the more questions they asked, and the teacher allowed them to ask.

Using ansys fluent udf for numerical study of the movement of the rollers of a downhole positive displacement pump

In order to improve the design and increase the technical characteristics of pump and compressor equipment, computational modeling of fluid dynamics is used. Numerical research techniques of positive displacement machines are quite diverse and are widely used for vane and gerotor pumps. The roller rotary pump considered in this work is used for oil production in the sidetracks of oil wells. The difference in the design is the use of rollers as partitions separating the working chambers of the pump. The authors of the article propose a method for studying the movement of rollers in the Ansys (Fluent) software package, and related issues of creating userdefined functions (UDF) to describe reciprocating motion using the macro DEFINE_CG_MOTION (name, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime). It is shown that the result of calculating the movement speed in ansys fluent differs from the graph of the given function. A sine law is substantiated to describe the speed of movement of the roller’s center of mass. The method for determining the coefficients in a sinusoidal dependence is described and it is shown how these coefficients affect the movement of the roller. The results obtained in the study can be used when performing verification of analytical calculation methods with finite element modeling data using UDF Ansys, and will also help young researchers understand the writing of UDF DEFINE_CG_MOTION. Keywords: fuel and energy complex; oil and gas industry; well equipment; volumetric pump; Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD); numerical simulation; moving mesh; User Define Function (UDF).

Civic Activity in Non-Governmental Organizations for Ensuring Security of Local Communities

ObjectivesThe aim of the article is to identify the role that the activity of members of these communities organized in non-governmental organizations plays in ensuring the safety of local communities. The article also aims to identify factors that favor and disfavor the creation of grassroots social initiatives in conditions of deficiencies in civil society, which allow for a more complete understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to the use of social potential to ensure the security of local communities.Material and methodsThe basic research technique used in the article was content analysis. The article analyzes mainly the content of the literature on the subject. Available source materials and existing legal acts were also used. The results of research on the functioning of the third sector in Poland were also analyzed in the text.ResultsNon-governmental organizations, due to their "local nature", have much greater opportunities to engage in the implementation of tasks related to the security of local communities than, for example, in the field of national security. In local communities, especially small towns and villages, there is also an increased demand for support from non-state entities to meet the security needs of residents. However, the role of the third sector in ensuring the security of local communities will always be regulated by state law and the state of functioning of the state.ConclusionsThe tasks of non-governmental organizations to ensure security will be different in times of peace, different in times of crisis, and still different in times of war. According to Polish law, the activities of non-governmental organizations during war or martial law may be suspended, may, however, be used to conduct military operations.

Effective or Not? The Crisis Communication in Social Media Indonesia COVID-19 Team Affect Behavioural Intentions to Get Vaccination with Big Data Analysis

The COVID-19 epidemic, the most significant economic crisis to hit the planet in the previous fifty years of human history, is about to occur in 2020, and it saw an equally dire state of affairs in Indonesia's economy as elsewhere. To overcome this crisis, the government marketed the immunization program as a "game changer" for achieving herd immunity and the country's economic revival. Unfortunately, the vaccinations continue to have a low uptake. To avert this, a special committee must be formed to ensure a successful vaccination program to try and carry out various vaccine campaigns to gain full public awareness, one of which is through social media. This research used a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research techniques, mainly applied to social science theories and transformative paradigms. This research aims to measure the effectiveness of the COVID-19 team's crisis communication in delivering vaccine campaigns on social media, especially on Twitter, belonging to KPCPEN, a government-made group tasked with carrying out Indonesia's economy. The results show that greater crisis responsibility and response lead to higher behavioural intentions to vaccinate among netizens. Twitter data collection shows that netizens give positive tone tweets about booster vaccinations directed by the government. This is also supported by various communication strategy steps formed by the government so that people know about getting vaccines. Future research could compare remote communities that have difficulty accessing information from the government and measure the effectiveness of how it affects them. Keywords: Indonesia vaccination, COVID-19, economic recovery, big data, social media.

TANTANGAN AKAD KAFALAH SEBAGAI INSTRUMEN PENJAMINAN KREDIT SYARIAH

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the kaf?lah contract as a credit guarantee instrument in sharia financial institutions in Indonesia, as well as identifying the challenges faced in its implementation. The method used is a qualitative approach with library research techniques, where researchers collect and analyze various relevant literature sources, including books, journal articles and related legal documents. The research results show that the kaf?lah contract functions as a solution for customers who do not have conventional collateral, by emphasizing the principles of mutual assistance and collective responsibility in accordance with sharia values. Other than that, this agreement could improve financial inclusion, particularly for MSMEs, which frequently face barriers to loan availability. Implementing the kaf?lah contract is still hampered by issues like the general public's poor comprehension of it and the requirement for stricter and more precise laws. In order for kaf?lah contracts to assist sharia economic growth in Indonesia, comprehensive research and efforts are required to improve knowledge and preparedness of sharia financial institutions. It is intended that this study would further the theory and application of credit guarantees in Islamic financial institutions and offer suggestions for further advancements.
